My sewing group did a workshop with quilter Gail Lawther. She specialises in the stained glass window technique and I really learned a lot. It was a great day.
I still need to put the binding on this but we did Rennie Mackintosh inspired tulips. We all used our own fabrics so they all turned out completely different ...
For the sewers amongst you, it was done by reverse applique and the black outline was fusible binding sewn on with a twin needle.
I'm linking this to Handmade Monday.
I then had a little trip to Glasgow with a friend on Friday and Saturday, whilst my husband and son went to the re-enactment of the Battle of Bannockburn ...

Then on Sunday it was Armed Forces Day, my son was marching ...
and then this morning the Commonwealth Baton went past the top of our road ...
this lady did really well, we live at the top of a hill!
So that's it, thanks for popping in, I will do my blogging (and the dreaded housework) catch up today!
